ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 3 Mr. Fisher stated there would be no additional charge as they were planning to stick to the original 40-foot footprint, unless there were some utilities work that would require it. Councilmember Holmes wondered if the public should be able to comment on all three designs. Mayor Grant thought they should decide on a preferred design. Councilmember Holmes felt Option 3 was the best design with the walkway on the east. Councilmember Scott felt Option 3 with walk on the west. Mayor Grant liked Option 3 but was undecided which side he preferred for the walkway. Councilmember McClung also liked Option 3 with the walkway on the east due to fewer driveway crossings. Councilmember Holden was agreeable to Option 2 or 3, but liked the west side for the walkway. Mr. Fisher will coordinate a public meeting and present all three options for review and comment. Feedback received from the meeting will be presented to Council. Councilmember Holden requested they provide artist rendering drawings at the public meeting in addition to the cross-section drawings. B. State of the City Update City Administrator Perrault stated that the State of the City is currently set as in in-person event at the Marsden Room in the Ramsey County Public Works building. He asked if Council would like to keep it as an in-person event. Councilmember Scott said he would like to plan for in-person but be flexible. Councilmember Holmes agreed to leave it live because of the date coming up soon. Councilmember McClung said he was torn on which path to choose. City Administrator Perrault noted there should discuss and assign topics and reviewed the current list. Councilmember Holmes felt they only needed Arden Hills Foundation under City Points of Interest. She would like to add a section about trails; expense and how Council sets priorities. She felt they didn’t need a litigation update, but they should talk about TCAAP.
